1 allow SPF and SCDF to notify BCA of incidents through the EMED incident mobile App during Journey of Singapore, the Green Dot. testing period Dr. John Keung Chairman, BCA Centre for Sustainable Buildings and Dean, BCA Academy Building and Construction Authority, Singapore Scope of Presentation Going Green in Singapore a High rise, High density, Hot and Humid Tropical City Our Zero Ambition Towards Zero and The Way Ahead how to scale up?

2 Comparing NYC and Singapore New York City Singapore 8.5 mil 5.61 mil 784 sq.km 720 sq.km 3 ⁰C 31 ⁰C 25 ⁰C 35 ⁰C 68% (RH) 84% (RH) Source: ny.gov; singstatgov.sg Background of Singapore Singapore * Population 1.64 mil 5.61 mil Land Area 580 sq.km 720 sq.km GDP Per Capita US$428 US$55,949 *Updated as of 11 Apr 2018

3 Towards a Green City in the Tropics Challenges in going Green in a High rise, High density, hot and humid city in the Tropics Ranked 2 nd in Top 10 Global Cities for Green Buildings 2016 Phase 1 Greening New Buildings Phase 2 Greening Existing Buildings Phase 3 Greening Occupants & Tenants Launched BCA Green Mark Scheme 2005 Green Building: 0.5% of the entire building stock (by GFA) 2018 * Green Building: 34% of the entire building stock (by GFA) A Global Leader in Green Building in the Tropics and Sub Tropics 14 Countries, 80 Cities Regionally Nearly 300 Projects Sub-tropics Tropics Sub-tropics Promote and establish sustainable building policies and practices in the Southeast Asia region

4 1 st Challenge Concern over Cost premium and Skepticism over the Value of Green Buildings Actions (1) Walking the Talk (2) Incentivising the Industry Green Mark Incentive Schemes >5,000 m 2 to meet Gold standard GM certification to be obtained for new lease or renovation More than 34% of the entire building stock greened Additional Gross Floor Area 58,000 m 2 Committed S$100m Existing Buildings Fully Committed S$50m Existing Building and Premises NEW! $20m New Buildings Fully Committed S$5m Design Prototype S$2m Committed (3) Enabling Mindset Change BCA Green Mark Award Type Platinum (>30% energy savings) Gold Plus (>25% energy savings) Green Cost Premium Payback Period (years) 3% ~ 5% 2.5 ~ 6.5 2% ~ 4.5% 2 ~ 4 Gold 1%~3% 1 ~ 4 (2011) NUS + Leading Real Estate Consultancy Firms >2% Increase in Capital value for Retrofitted Commercial Buildings 2 nd Challenge - Developers -Owners - Quantity Surveyors Development Operation & - Owners/ Tenants - Facility Managers Maintenance - Energy Services Companies Design Construction Lack of Expertise in the Industry Actions Building Capability - Architects - M&E Consultants - C&S Consultants - Main Builders - Specialist Contractors Suppliers >16,000 professionals trained to date

5 3 rd Challenge Low Level of Green Awareness among Consumers and Youths (1) Co creation with Public and Youths Climate Innovation Challenge Actions (2) Outreach Programmes for Public and Youths (3) Annual Singapore Green Building Week Crowd sourcing solutions Students as green ambassadors Green Living Expo More than 28,000 participants Back to School Programme BiG Day Out Singapore Green Building Week 2017 Renewable Energy Solar Development in Singapore Solar Programme Our Zero Ambition Challenges and Actions Under R&D Overall Solar Target: Achieve 350 MWp of Installed Solar Capacity by 2020 SolarNova Programme (HDB) Singapore s largest public developer, Housing Development Board aims to implement 220 MWp of solar panels across 5,500 HDB blocks by 2020 Current Research Projects Peroskite Solar Module Highly Efficient Solar Cell at 66%?? Renewable Energy Integration Demonstrator Spore (REIDS) Hybrid micro-grid testing includes Solar, Wind and Tidal technologies at Semakau Landfill Floating PV Test-bed Chalcogenide Solar Cell Upcoming SolarLand (JTC) Movable Solar Panels at Jurong Island, Singapore Building Integrated PV

6 Zero Energy BCA Academy 45% More Efficient 2007 Past to Present % Typical Office Building ZEB@ BCAA 2586MWh 1422MWh 1539MWh From 18 th October 2009 till 13 st February 2018 Enhancement to ZEB: From Zero Energy to Positive Energy through Retrofitting Zero Energy Building Net surplus energy Key targets EEI Improvement >20% From 8% >40% Key features Hybrid Cooling System High Performance Glazing with Heat Reflective Film Retrofitting process Positive Energy Building User Interface Space Settings Monitoring and Switching Plug Loads

7 Other Zero Energy Projects in Singapore National University of Singapore School of Design & Environment (SDE4) Defence Science and Technology Agency Kranji Camp III Ministry of Education Tampines Secondary School Headquarters of Kampung Kampus [Non-profit Organsiation: Ground-Up Initiative (GUI)] comprising of organic farming plots, camping grounds, amphitheatre, heritage centre and prototyping zone BCA Academy Zero Energy Building Singapore Management University SMU-X Our Aspiration: Towards Zero and the Way Ahead How to scale up? BCA Sky Lab World s 1 st High Rise Rotatable Laboratory For the Tropics Lead Organisation International Collaborator R&D Funding >$180 mil RESEARCH FUNDING FOR GREEN BUILDINGS Outcomes INNOVATIVE Green Building Solutions COST EFFECTIVE Green Building Solutions

8 Towards Net Zero: What more can the users do? Behavioural Change, IoT? Annual BCA Building Energy Benchmarking Reports (1) Highlight Energy Consumption by Users Office Buildings Retail Buildings 49% Building Owner 53% Building Owner 51% 47% Users Users EUI (kwh/m2/year (2) Green Mark Buildings are more Energy Efficient Average EUI of GM vs Non-GM Commercial Buildings 8% % Savings Savings Non -GM 224 GM Office Buildings Non -GM GM Retail Buildings (3) Internet of Things (IoT) Leading green buildings in the tropics and sub tropics enabling sustainable development and quality living 80% of the entire building stock in Singapore to be greened by 2030 Towards Nett Zero through design innovation, technology breakthrough and user contribution Doing our part to enable cities in the tropical and sub tropical belt to go green
